Washington, March 13— Charles M. Pepper, appointed by President Roosevelt as Commissioner to carry out the recommendations of the sec ond International American Con ference, held in Mexico two years ago, with regard to the Pan-Ameri can Railway, has submitted his re port to the State Department, by which it will be transmitted to Con gress, the second conference creat ing a permanent commission with headquarters at Washington, of which H. D. Davis is chairman and Vndrew Carnegie is a member. The other members are the ambassador from Mexico and the Ministers from Peru and Guatemala. Commissioner Pepper spent a year in visiting various countries, and was aided in Lis work by the United States Ministers. His inquiries covered the general subject of trade opportunities that would result from railroad buildiug. CONNECT NEW YORK AND BUENOS AVKES The report sajs that the general project of an inter-continental line, which ultimately will place New York and Buenos Ayres in communi cation, is receiving much encourage ment. At the present time about 1800 miles are lacking, and the es timated cost of construction is placed at $150,000,000. This is based on an average of 50 cents gold as a daily wage for labor, with an effici ency of 75 per cent as compared with similar labor in the United States. ^ Commissioner-Popper cites spe cific causes that have contributed to advance the intercontinental project. These include the progress at both ends, as shown in simultaneous ac. tion by Mexico on the north and Argentine Republic on the south to extend their railway lines; the set tlement of disputed boundaries and other questions which heretofore have caused the countries to be in different to railways among them- selves; the law passed by the Chilean Congress for the tunnel through the Andes, which will enable the long- deferrod through railway connec tion betwoen Buenos Avros and Valparaiso to be made; legislation by several of the republics with a view of offering great inducements for foreign capital to engage in railway construction, and the de- finite determination of the Panama Canal question, which is exppeted to be beneficial both in the stability which will result from the influence of the United States on the isthmus nnd from the overflow of private capitol into railway enterprises. progress, and the $10,000,000 in vestment of a United States syndi cate in the copper mines of Cerro de Pasco and in collateral railway enterprises. The working of the bituminous coal deposits is predict ed. Full accounts are given of the various railway enterprises in the different countries and the conces sions in force, as well as the in ducements to capital in the way of government guarantees and sub sidies and exemption of railway ma terial from customs and intoruation- al 'eration. ¿JTLET FOB UNITED STATES. ' — special chapter is devoted to markets and trade. Numerous iu- staoes are given of the ability of the United States to supply South America and Central America with steel rails, ab well as with rolling- stock generally. The repoit praises the adaptability of manufacturers iD the United States in meeting tbe special needs of local conditions and recites the marked preferance shown for locomotives and cars of American make An analysis is made of the unsat isfactory status of United States ex perts to South America, and the figures are given for the belief that these can be materially and per manently increased. Pepper says there is a reaction from German cheap goods, and the United States can compete with Germany in sup plying the batter grades for which demand now exists. Has J. C Conn Killed Himself? A letter received from Silver Lake, Lako County, Oregon, by Major Buick, in substance says: On Fri day morning, March 4, J. C. Conn, (known in Roseburg where he was born and raised and whose relatives live around Roseburg,) was seen by one of the clerks of his store at Silver Lake to leave the store and go in the direction of the Silver Creek bridge. This was early in the morning and Mr. Conn did not take with him his overcoat al though it was bitterly cold at the time. As be neared the approach of the bridge he was seen to stoop down as though he was tying a shoe-string or rolling up the bottom of his pants and was seen to turn around as if to return, but a few minutes afterwards he was seen on the top of the bridge and that was the last seen of him. from Silver Lake except that furn ished by Major Buick in a letter from his son, who lives there, and in finishing the letter it is stated the creek is swollen and a thorough search has been made of the sur rounding country and mountains and not a trace of the missing man was found.— Roscburg Plaindealer. --------- •■««»«------- --- Supreme Court Knocks out Securities. : : • Oregon. FIR S T NATIONAL BANK Dr. Gibbon PATENTS CASNOW NO. 36. Mitchell's Daughter Dead. 0$ W e Give Portland, Ore. March 15:— Mrs. Frances Hoyt Griffin, daughter of Senator John H. Mitchell, of Ore gon, died at 12 o’clock last night in New York City, following a diffi cult surgical operation. Details of Mrs. Griffin’s sickness are not known here. The news first came in a telegram to Colonel David M. Northern Dunne, collector of internal rev enue. The telegram follows: Washington, March 14.—The supreme court of the United States today rendered a docision in the famous Northern Securities case, which upholds the government’s contention. The merger is em phatically declared to be in viola tion of the Sherman anti-trust act, and the opinion is a sweeping one, which will have great effect on tbe future formation of trusts or pro hibitive corporations. The decision was given in a vote of fivo to four, Justices Holmes, Peckman, White aud Fuller dis senting. Justice Harlan read the opinion, giving the following per. tinent points: “ In our opinion,’’ says Harlan, “ the evidence fully sustains the charge that the defendants were properly accused of monopolizing or attempting to monopolize trade between states. Tbe Northern Se curities company was organized as a holding corporation or custodian of more than nine-tenths of the stock of the Northern Paoific rail way and three quarters of the stock of the Great Northern rail way. Both lines were held as if by one ownership. The holding com pany dominated the roads for the exclusive benefit of the stockhold- s. “ It became one great powerful corporation, so that competition be tween the constituent companies might close. Profits were to be distributed on a basis of stock held by the Northern Securities com pany. The combination is one in the shape of a trust. No scheme or device could be more thorough ly a combination in the form of a trust in the restraint of trade," “ We deem it sufficient to say,’’ continued Harlan, “ that every con tract or combination or conspiracy which operates in restraint of trade is unlawful, whether it bo umeasou- able or reasonable restraint. There is no distinction. The law forbids such a combination, even among private manufactures or dealers. Congress clearly has power to establish rules governing commerce between states and with foreign countries. Free competition as a rule is prescribed to extinguish combinations in restraint of com- rce.” “ The liberty of contracts is not impaired by an act which congress holds authority to enact. Tbeso principles have been distinctly an nounced in other cases. The con stitution of the United States is a supreme law, and a lawful and con stitutional act of congress is as binding on the states as though it were iu the constitution of the United States. “ If the contentions of the North ern Securities company is sound, why could not all railroads in the United States enter into a combine, and by the device of holding cor- porations, control rates all over the country against the will of congress “ Congress may protect the free dom of interstate rates by lawful means. No state corporation can stand in the way of the enforce ment of the popular will when law fully expressed. A state may cre ate a corporation and authorize it to engage in interstate commerce. Congress has no {lower over it un less what it does interferes with an act of congress. A state may al low combinations in restraint of its domestic trade, if it sees fit, but it must not go beyond its own bor. ders, for a national authority con trols the instrumentalities of the in ter-state commerce. “The decree of the court below enjoins the Northern Securities company from acquiring stock in the two companies and from voting what it holds; from exercising any control over either of the roads, or from permitting these things to be done. The decree of the court be low is affirmed, with liberty in exe cution of such decree as circum stances may dictate.

Political activity begins to be seen. The Democratic Convention in Missouri and the Republican Convention in Iowa were the scenes of “ wild riots” and an entertaining gunplay. Ambulances and hospi tals were much in requisition. The campaign is on. Most of us are inclined to think that if our tasks were different it would be easier for us to be the sort of men and women that we ought to be. Yet every duty is an opportunity, and we need no other gymnasium for the development of our moral muscle than the work which falls to our hands today, whatever that work may be. If our present task does not help us to be more gentle, patient, kind, and faithful it is exceedingly doubtful whether any other set of circum stances would woik in us the ends of character.— Ex. Senator Beveridge says that he is greatly delighted and agreeably surprised with the cordial reception he everywhere met in Russia. No restrictions whatever was put upon Lis movements, his speech, or even the use of his pocket camera. He was received by the cominauder of Port Arthur without any resL. tape delay, and was permitted to exam ine all the fortifications at his leis ure.
